Knit Bomb
Oh what fun …. Bec has really started something here, her little studio was packed to the rafters.
We all signed up and are busily knitting squares to make a very big rug to go over a shelter shed !
See Bec’s web page on my blog roll for more info….
Arm Knitting
I have noticed a some interest in arm knitting (I mentioned it in an earlier post) well I got my hands into action.Teresa Dair was at the craft/ quilt fair in Brisbane(I have put her link in my blog roll).
I went to her work shop and bought the instructions , it is a bit tricky to get you head / hands around but once you get it it’s fun and quick.The instructions talk about felting the scarf so you need to use a wool that will felt/shrink and one or two more that won’t , I have not felted this one yet ….. am undecided about changing the look
New fun stuff
Back from the trip and taking a bit to get back into the groove …
For a bit of inspiration a couple of us went to the Craft Fair in Brisbane I discovered a couple of new things Arm Knitting with Teresa Dair and Crochet bowls with Jenny King
Lots of fun … have also added a couple of pics of some scarves I did on the road
This neck lace is knitted with 20mm needles over breakfast
This is merino wool, hemp and bamboo nuno felted onto tissue silk
